Space, Knowledge and Power: Foucault and Geography

by Jeremy W. Crampton (Editor), Stuart Elden (Editor)

The first to engage Foucault's geographies in detail from a wide range of perspectives, this book is framed around his discussions with the journal Herodote in the mid 1970s. The contributors (including a number of key figures such as David Harvey, Chris Philo, Sara Mills, Nigel Thrift, John Agnew, Thomas Flynn and Matthew Hannah) discuss just what they find valuable - and frustrating - about Foucault's geographies. This is a book which will both surprise and challenge.

Far from impressed.

How knowledge is a form of power and how space can influence the distribution of power.
The concept of panopticon is always fascinating.
Then digressions on war, races, battles and history.
